Re: Response to El D\'s request for online user count by forum
Kot,
Apparently you are not aware that to find out information about viewers in any single forum, all I or anyone else has to do is LOOK AT THE MAIN INDEX PAGE! |

[/ QUOTE ] Sniper believes that a user is counted as viewing a forum if he has opened a thread there within the last 15 minutes. So as long as each tab keeps getting refreshed, each counts as a separate user. |

[/ QUOTE ] ed, the answer to this is not clear, it could be... 1. multi counting them, which might account for the difference with big-boards numbers. 2. only counting the last user action. |

Re: Response to El D\'s request for online user count by forum
I think I screwed that up. My post above only applies if you're using different accounts. A user can be counted as viewing more than one forum, but each account can only be counted as viewing any particular forum once.

Its a rare case, if ever. |
